The wool-growers and wool-dealers, In their
answer to the Presidents views on the wool inter-
ests declare "that the sentiments OF the message
are a direct attack upon their industry, and IN
positive violation OF the national democratic plat
form OF 1854; that the argument made for the
tition Is the old one repeatedly mace by the enc
mics OF our industrial progress ana 50 thoroughly
disproved by the logic OF facts and demonstration
OF experience and history as 10 need no answer"
They say: alarmed at his position, we make an
appeal iron his Recommendations 20 the people
for the maintenance OF the American
policy OF protection. 70 which the country rs in-
deoted for its unexampled development and pros
perity.' They nnaliy claim that .tne PresideptS
policy would bring about the destruction OF The
wool industry, and the same policy OF reducton oe
abolition OF the tariff would end IN disaster 70 AL
the other Industrial productive enterprises OF tho
country"
